In news that no one expected Slash of Guns N’ Roses ( and formerly Velvet Revolver, Slash’s Snakepit) is getting a comicbook label by Vault Comics – and his first project is something right in our wheelhouse.

It’s none other than Deathstalker, a series that has of course been a mainstay out our blog, especially the movies featuring the original actor Rick Hill ( although Deathstalker II has it’s moments). It originally began as a co- production between legendary B- movie producer Roger Corman and the Argentinian producer Hector Olivera. It ended up being such a success that they did full ten movies together- including another one of out favorites- Barbarian Queen featuring Deathstalker actress Lana Clarkson.

“I’m excited to be kicking off a new era of Deathstalker. From Tim Seeley, artist Jim Terry, writer-director-creature FX-wizard Steven Kostanski, and myself, our Deathstalker is a reimagining of that fine specimen of ’80s sword and sorcery. With fantasy, you get a little of everything: horror, magic, sex, thrills, blood, guts, swords, and weirdness. You know—all those things you can’t look away from. And that’s what we’re bringing. So—please—if you share my love of all things wicked, check it out!”- SLASH

Deathstalker and Slash have been admiring each other’s work since the 80s!

Like the man said creative team on the book is lead by Steven Kostanski (Psycho Goreman), writer Tim Seeley (Hack/ Slash, Masters of the Multiverse) and the artist Jim Terry (The Crow: Skinning of the Wolfs, West on Sundown).
